Now the Energy Conservation Law is under preparation for enactment in 2020. The supplementary regulations of the EC Law are also under preparation and ECCJ has supported to establish those regulations such as Energy Manager System and EC Guideline and so on.
Considering the period of public comment, they need to complete the preparation within 2018 this situation ECCJ held a workshop for the Energy Manager System and EC Guideline to be completed its draft.
ECCJ held workshop in Japan on June and this time we dispatched 3 experts to support workshop on 11, 12 Jun. with 27 person participated. The workshop implemented by 3 group work.ECCJ will dispatch 2 more times in this fiscal year and aims to complete the draft.

It''s taken us 10 days to find this place. We left at sunrise, hiking through Myanmar''s Bago Yoma mountains in search of pristine teak forest. After 8 kilometers the forest changed, and we were surrounded by dozens of golden-trunked teak trees, most so large that three of us can''t wrap our arms around them.
Decades of overharvesting have ravaged Myanmar''s forests, and illegal logging is undermining the government''s efforts to reform forestry practices. But chainsaw-wielding crime syndicates are just part of the problem: A looming energy crisis is forcing Myanmar''s citizens to gather their fuelwood illegally, threatening the country''s forest resources and economic future.
The Bago Yoma mountains run through south-central Myanmar like a green spine. From the air we see sharp, red roads cutting through the forest from east to west, with smaller tracks radiating deep into the hills like arteries. Towns cluster at the mountains'' edge, their golden pagodas glittering through the haze. These mountains are Myanmar''s teak heartland, once home to vast cathedrals of old-growth forest rumored to hold the best-quality trees. Today, the Bago is better known as the epicenter of the illegal logging crisis.
Despite having the highest proportion of forest cover in mainland Southeast Asia, Myanmar is a global hotspot for forest loss. Since 1990, Myanmar lost a staggering 15 million hectares of forest, and only 10 percent of what remains is thought to be never-logged primary forest. And deforestation has only accelerated in recent years: Between 2010 and 2015, Myanmar clocked the third-highest rate of deforestation in the world, behind Brazil and Indonesia.
Both legal and illegal logging are to blame. In the last five decades, the military-controlled socialist government turned to the forests to provide much-needed capital, ignoring harvest guidelines and logging as much as they could. And an illegal timber trade flourished alongside that plunder, facilitated by corruption and weak governance.
The Bago was one of the worst-hit areas in the last two decades. Low mountains with roads on either side made it easier to access than other forests, and its position between the major cities of Yangon and Naypyidaw allowed loggers to easily and quickly export the harvested timber. The extent of the damage is even visible from space, and geographers have identified the Bago as one of the world''s hotspots for intact forest loss since 2000.
As part of a large-scale effort to reform their forestry practices, the new democratic government implemented a 10-year logging ban in the Bago to help the forest recover. But as we saw firsthand, it''s clear that illegal logging is still taking place. We were in Myanmar gathering biodiversity data using acoustic recorders as part of a larger effort to help the Burmese government reform the forestry sector. Our plan was to gather data in different types of forests, including teak plantations, recently logged forests, and never-logged, pristine forests.
But finding pristine forests was a continual challenge. On multiple occasions we''d hike for an entire day, only to discover illegal logging. Then we''d have to retreat for our own safety. Our caution was not unwarranted: local media report that forest rangers frequently face death threats and machete attacks, with several dying each year. And the violence isn''t limited to law enforcement; in 2016 a reporter investigating the illegal logging trade was found beaten to death.
Far from the frontier forests, it''s easy to imagine illegal loggers as a rogue group of bandits with chainsaws. But in reality, the men cutting trees are the timber-trade equivalent of the street-corner drug dealer. They''re just a small part of a larger organized crime ring, akin to the druglords of Mexico.
Under the socialist government, military leaders awarded lucrative logging contracts to themselves and their friends. On paper, the Forest Department set an annual limit for how much timber they could extract. "But how much was actually extracted could be significantly more it could be twice as much," says Oliver Springate-Baginski, a researcher at the University of East Anglia who studied Myanmar''s harvest levels. "We don’t know exactly how it worked, but it was non-transparent and doesn’t appear in the data."
This practice of double-harvesting continues today, often when the government relies on loosely monitored subcontractors. Burmese foresters use a simple method to mark their legal timber. They paint each tree with an inventory number and then brand it with the cutting year and a star symbol — the symbol of the Myanma Timber Enterprises — on the base of the trunk and on the stump. Any logs without these marks are likely illegally felled. "Sometimes the same loggers do a bit of both," says Springate-Baginski. "I''ve seen that in some places, where they have piles of logs with a hammer marks and piles without, and everyone is a bit embarrassed."
Large, Chinese-run timber cartels often purchase logging rights directly from militant ethnic minorities and then contract the logging and transport to smaller companies on the ground, according to investigations by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA).
